Dude all I can say is Good luck I am saying that One More Time for what it's worth.

I could care less about getting sympathy. I was merely letting folks know the man was selling garbage. Your the one who started off saying that there was no way of knowing the car was a dud. If I were selling used cars, it would be my business to know the ones I was selling and would do so honestly. You commented on it like you were trying to start an argument. I would hope someone would let me know if a business was cheating folks, which is the only reason behind my post.

Billy, I'm not even close to understanding how you can say I'm accusing you of anything? If you meant that post for me. FYI, Everything I've posted was Going on What you've posted!

Your the one making smart acusations, without knowing the whole story,so maybe you need to shut your pie hole or, at least if you want to comment on something meant to help others then, get the whole story.

I have a 98 toyota Tacoma, with 333,000 on it, bought used. Still runs like a champ.

I bought a Toyota pickup years ago that had about 200 k miles on it. It was just a base model I drove that thing around 10 years and never really did anything to it other than regular maintenance.

Said that Right Shag!

I have bought so many used cars over the years that people make jokes about it My driveway is filled with so many automobiles I could start a used car lot. The one thing I have learned is avoid "high end" auto's with every bell and whistle. There is a reason cars like Cadillac BMW etc. sell cheap compared to when new. All of the fancy features will fail nickel and dime you to death. If you buy a base or sport model you have a good chance of getting a reliable ride. There is a reason cars that sold new for over thirty thousand sell used for around five thousand after just a few years old. A Lexus will cost to keep running were a Corolla will keep a trucking with regular service. These luxury and or performance cars are harder to work on and the parts cost more. I've bought cars that made me sick to see in the driveway but every car that gave me good service were just plain old run of the mill cars. Use the internet before buying any car. Lessons learned the hard way.

"because everyone said he wouldn't cheat anyone " so you gotta believe Everyone.

Nah OC not for a second dude. I've no time to waste on Thread Fights.

LLEH No wonder he let his friend get their butt burned!

THREAD FIGHT!!

Dec 80 k is not that many miles on a car or truck built today. Back in the 70's and 80's yea it was a lot an maybe nearly worn out. However with today's improved oils and engine designs 80 K isn't hardly even broke in!

Dude you started a Thread on a Public forum if you don't people in it then you should've Kept your Pie Hole shut. You put it out there! You're getting the responses that you don't like because most everyone thinks it's your fault not the car dealer!

80k isn;t high miles on a car IMO

It is a used car. If it had 80,000 miles or more it is a high mileage car.

They buy the at the sale to make money. Not rebuild.

If you drive down the street and back that is NOT a test drive. Did you have a mechanic look at it? Etc etc.

If you find a car with low miles and more than 5 years old it automatically tells one that it has set many months or years. Hoses rot, connections corrode, and fluids solidify.

You should expect that all vehicles will have issues including all the new ones. Get a written warranty and pay more or take your chances and get a good deal.

It wasn't a high milelage car.

To begin with, he said he checked the car out and it was a great car, then after we test drive it, he changed the new tires on it out. Also, he isn't an old guy, he's in his 40,s. He absolutely knew he sold a lemon, while downing every other car lot in the county for doing the same thing, so unless you know what your talking about, keep out of it. It was a friendly warning so no one else would fall victim to this guy and the junk he's selling.

From reading this I tend to agree with everyone else it's a used Car. No way the guy knew if the car was good or bad. He no doubt bought it for one purpose and that was to move it on. He didn't cheat you unless he promised you a warranty and then refused to fix any issues you had. I've bought several Used Cars over the years and always got some kind of warranty from the lot and I got it in Writing. If a car lot refused to give me a warranty I walked. Way to many car lots to choose from and most Reputable lots will give you some kind of warranty if you ask for it. See that? If you ASK for it!
